F686rHow do we reconcile the gap between research theory and the reality of social work practice? How can a social work research methodology be developed which is relevant to the workplace? This innovative collection approaches social work research from the 'bottom' up. Instead of starting with theory, it starts with practice, showing how a research methodology can be developed from actual experience. Using a 'reflective' approach, The Reflective Researcher demonstrates a variety of ways of working with research methods and theory. The contributors deal with both qualitative and quantitative methods, and show how a range of theories including feminism and poststructuralism can be integrated into research. Written in an unpretentious and engaging style, The Reflective Researcher is a valuable reference for social work practitioners, researchers and students.
